T-Mobile is doubling down on its commitment to unshackle
consumers from the ironclad cell phone contracts that have become
an industry standard.

The company, which has dubbed itself the "un-carrier," will pay
early-termination fees of up to $650 -- on up to five total lines
-- for individual customers or families who opt to trade in their
devices and port their numbers to T-Mobile's service network.

In pursuit of so-called "contract freedom," T-Mobile will offer
up to $300 for every device that is exchanged and up to $350 to
cover termination fees.

This is not the first time that T-Mobile has sought to break away
from competitors like AT&T, Verizon and Sprint, who operate
on binding and penalty-laden two-year agreements.

Last October, T-Mobile announced that it would eliminate
international roaming fees by offering unlimited data and texting
abroad in over 100 countries while offering a global flat rate of
20 cents per minute on voice calls.

T-Mobile's CEO, John Legere, is relishing in the company's latest
news and therein his own cementing status as an industry rebel.

After crashing -- and being unceremoniously kicked out of -- an
AT&T party at CES on Monday, he announced the company's
latest initiative onstage in Vegas yesterday while clutching a
Red Bull in an expletive-ridden rant.

"This industry blows," he said of T-Mobile's competition. "You'll
see how easy it is to tell them where to stick it."

Legere also noted that T-Mobile -- the fourth largest carrier in
the world -- added 4.4 million new users in 2013, making it the
fastest-growing wireless company in America.
